why is there still so much __KERNEL__ testing in include/uapi/?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  continuing down this road of exporting kernel headers, under
include/uapi/ (and mostly further under linux/), there's still a *ton*
of testing of the __KERNEL__ preprocessor check.

  now, i realize that when one does "make headers_install", all those
files are run through "unifdef" to sanitize almost all of that kernel
content, so it's not like it hurts, but is there any reason so much of
it is still there? wouldn't it be tidier to get rid of it?

  or is there some rationale for leaving it there?
